Sometimes, things are hidden right in plain sight. You just can’t see them. Take the little tykes on the album cover; my guess is that they have no clue where they are or what they’re doing… and neither do I.
But the point still stands, that there are times in life when you’re oblivious to the possibilities and circumstances that surround you. So that brings us to the theme of this week’s A&V Mixtape… it’s an ode to all those times in love, life, employment, or whenever, that you realize that the thing you had been looking for was in front of you the entire time. Some tracks (01, 02, 16, etc) revolve around the oblivion of romance while others (04, 05, 13, etc) highlight the mystery of simply being.
Woah. Deep.
Enjoy.
